If you have a little one who is nervous about going back to school after the holidays. Here are a few ideas that might help!

Remember the most important thing for children at times of transition is our calm reassuring presence. We can validate their feelings by acknowledging any big emotions without judgement or expectation about what they ‘should’ be feeling. Just listening to their feelings helps, as the fear of separation that they feel is very real to them. Your connection with your child is the most important support you can give!

But we can also put in place some rituals which can help at times of separation. Here are three small but very effective ways to support those who might struggle a little with separation anxiety.

Matching Love Hearts:

Draw a little heart on your wrist, and a matching one on theirs. If they are missing you during the day, or just feel the need to connect with you, they put their fingers on the little heart. They will feel their pulse, like a reassuring heartbeat, when they touch their wrist. Let them know that you will press your love heart if you are missing them. You can also add a spray of your perfume or aftershave to their wrist, as another little connection to you.

Pebble in my Pocket:

Find two very similar pebbles, gem-stones or crystals. You keep one in your pocket and the child keeps the other in their pocket. Tell them that any time they feel a little nervous or are missing you they give their pebble a little squeeze. It is a very concrete reminder of their connection to you. [Some alternatives to a pebble that they might like to keep in their pocket are a little photo of mum/dad/family, or a hankie with your perfume/aftershave on it]

Worries in My Pocket:

Talk to your child about any worries they have about starting school. Write the worries down on pieces of paper. Then you put the pieces of paper in your pocket. Tell your child you are going to carry their worries for the day while they are in school, so they don’t have to carry them alone. This can really help to ease any fears they may have.

I would love to hear if you have any other tips that have worked for you in the past.

Thinking of Filipa , Ceasar and darling Tomas today as they lay to rest their beautiful son/brother Andre 💔Our whole communion it’s of Carrigaline and all of us at Little Einsteins send you all our love and are sending you the strength to get through this extremely sad day today . Rest in peace beautiful Andre and shine bright as a star in the sky ❤️❤️❤️

It’s with great sadness that I post about the untimely passing of darling Andre , his baby brother Tomas is part of our wonderful family of children at Little Einsteins , myself and my staff send our deepest condolences to Filipa and Cesar and Tomas at this very sad time , may darling Andre fly high with the angels and rest in peace ❤️
I am reposting this lovely post below from an anonymous person ❤️

At such a devastating time for André family I wanted to suggest that the community of carrigaline might come out on Saturday and line the roads from the church to Ringaskiddy with candles to show the family that the whole community is with them at such a horrendous time. Maybe if all community, clubs, businesses etc posted this on their pages we might come together and do this for the family. We could line the roads right out of carrigaline pass herons Wood and Janesville for them as they pass.
